  3. @ Steve: From my research, the Alt-Right seems to be “anything that is not patently Leftist, and not conventionally conservative.” A lot of reactionaries, archaeofuturists, Tyler Durden-types, paleoconservatives and paleolibertarians, and a few crypto (or not so crypto) fascists.

    I’m not sure how gays at CPAC who advocate for social liberalism and economic conservatism are examples of the alt-right.

  6. So far as I can tell, the Alt-Right is positive to neutral towards homosexuality. Many of them are agnostic/atheistic, so they lack the religiously-motivated disdain for gay sex that many conventional conservatives have. However, their devotion to Western civilization and deep suspicion and hatred of progressivism makes them suspicious of same-sex marriage, or outright opposed to it. The consensus seems to be, “The dudes we would let marry each other don’t seem interested in getting married anyways.”

    There’s also an interesting concept among certain members of the Alt-Right that gay men could, if turned to their movement, become something like “cultural custodians” of masculinity, working to move the masculine paradigm away from metrosexual and lumbersexual to a more authentic, old-school regard for male sexuality. There’s also a general exasperation that Western high culture (music, literature, etc.) is being derided as “gay” and an uncultured and uneducated male iconography being pushed by “family values” advocates.
